Go to the trigger editor, and delete the action Set starting resources (for all players). Then add an action to set the players starting gold to the amount you would want.

thanks but it seems like my problem was something else.

The real issue with my map was that i want to control player 2 (blue) as the user.

I have set up Red as the Horde base controlled by the [computer]

The problem is when i test the map, i attain control as the red base instead of being player 2 (blue)

Try going into Warcraft and playing the map from there instead of hitting Test Map. Then you can choose who you play as.

for some reason whenever i try to import my custom icon, it tells me it's a "other" file and not an image.

Can someone link me a tutorial for importing custom icons? i just cant do it.

I would remove the starting resources from Initialization and make my own "Select every player in users and add x gold/lumber"
For gold start problems

for some reason whenever i try to import my custom icon, it tells me it's a "other" file and not an image.

wow thanks alot, it seems like the file type was the main issue, but i still have some issues.
My first custom icon is working, but the other 3 do not. What is the term "alpha channel" ?


i would like to update this thread with my current map, i'm having troubles coding my spells at the moment.

They are copy pasted from my original thrall map, but in this new updated map i have imported into, my spell buffs seem to be incorrect buffs.

This is probably due to my incorrect triggers, but i have double checked and i can't figure out my problem.

If someone talented can do me a favor and just glance over my skill triggers, that would be greatly appreciated. ^^

I would just use this: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?p=967767#post967767

1. Insert a picture into a certain folder (Can be any size and without any borders)
2. Run the program.
3. You can then make the images into a warcraft 3 icon, it will be made into .blp format, or a format of your choice. .blp being ready to import. Also makes disabled and active, passive, etc. borders.

If you have JNGP then you can go to the Grimoire tab and select "Customize test map settings" to change the player that you start off as so that you don't have to open up WarCraft III, go to Single Player, Custom Game, and then find your game every time you want to test your map.

You could just test from the test button
Or edit the player settings and in force properties, have Fixed Player Settings ticked
